Somewhere snuggly between the unhinged new mexico desert and the last lines of civilization sits the little place I call home. My grandfather built this ranch with his own two hands when he was trying to impress my grandmother's father of course it did and they were soon married since then the families run the ranch successfully of course selling in the nearby town, working the land and the animals. I loved our ranch then again not like a had a whole lot of choice I'd been born in the ranch and had only very rarely left to go to town every so often, I was even homeschooled with the teacher coming every Thursday but I really did love the ranch. I loved feeding the chickens and caring for the horses along with my many other jobs daily on the ranch my father worked hard I'd argue far too hard more so since my mother died he doesn't much speak me with me he spends time with me but always doing things like building or working I think sometimes he doesn't quite know what to say to me without my mother around. He'd always been protective even more so after she passed, my grandma helped out in the house as she couldn't do much else anymore, my grandfather still worked hard almost as hard as my father, and my aunt who honestly worked as hard as my father her husband past a while ago and she just took to the work much like my father did. Ohh and if course must not forget, our well I guess you could call him a farm hand, Name whitey. He was a townie a year or two older than me, he lost his parents a long time ago and my father took him in as a farm hand on the ranch he lived out in the old barn helping out as he was needed.

I woke to the sun shining in brightly I forced myself up and had myself a shower, I got dressed did my make up and my hair putting my usual comfy dress on heading down to the kitchen grabbing an apple or two on my way out into the dust and dirt instantly I saw my father and aunt working on the driveway fence as it came down in the storm last week "morning daddy, morning maggie" I greeted

My dad simply nodded

"Morning y/n. Where are you off to so bright an early?"

"I got work to do" I laughed heading down the path, I did my usual jobs with the chickens and the horses before heading along to my hutches "hello my little babies" I smiled picking up my lovely bunny rabbit snowball giving her a nice cuddle I fed her and her little fluffle of baby buns making sure they were all alright.

Once I was finished up I was secretive I snuck away over the fence and headed to the old barn where I saw the door open I peaked inside the messy place the old barn had very much been turned into a little house all of it a mess, the bed unmade a pipe of laundry near and around the basket, a pile of dishes in the sink and in the corner by the large old barn door sat two very impressive sights firstly the tall lanky body of whitey winn, sat on his little stool hands working hard oil covering them he hadn't noticed he to deep in his work his hair a mess and muck across his face it made me giggle a little and beside him taking up all his attention was his prize possession an old motorcycle I believe from the sixties it was his dad's and had been locked away for years whitey had been tinkering with it forever but it still didn't run even if it was beautiful I closed the door quietly and slowly crept over putting my hands over his eyes "guess who!" I giggled

"Uuuuuuughhh easter bunny?" He joked

"Nope. Guess again"

"Hi y/n" he laughs

"Hi whitey" I giggled moving my hands away as soon as I did he wrapped his around me pulling me down into his lap "ohh whitey!"

"Hi"

"Hi"

"I missed you"

"I saw you yesterday"

"I know but.... It's been a little while since we where all alone" he smirked stroking a finger across my thigh

"Is that a hint mr winn?"

"Might be?" he shrugged I smirked pulling his neck closer kissing him deeply he happily kissed back pulling me closer and tighter too him
